‘You’re Full Of S***’: Bill Maher Has Had With The Liberal BS On Biden’s Border Crisis

HBO host Bill Maher, a self-proclaimed “old-school liberal,” is slamming progressive leaders of “woke” cities, including New York City, accusing them of hypocrisy in complaining about the influx of asylum seekers.

In his “Club Random” podcast on Sunday, Maher questions the posturing of sanctuary cities, calling them out for welcoming migrants but panicking when they actually arrive from overwhelmed border states.

“It’s just a good example of, ‘Could everybody just stop the posturing?’” Maher said. “Don’t pretend that you love migrants so much and then when [border states] send them to you, you don’t like them. You know — you’re full of s*** and we can see that,” Maher said.

“Yeah, you liked them when it wasn’t your problem because you’re not a border state. And then when they show up in Chicago, in New York, you’re like, ‘What the f***? What are we going to do with these people?’”

According to Maher, the crisis, particularly the sight of newly arrived migrants sleeping on the streets of New York, reflects policies that contradict the true essence of liberalism.

He highlights the disparity between liberalism, which seeks humane solutions to move people off the streets, and the woke mentality, which resists any measure to relocate them, asserting that the streets are their homes.

“Liberalism is ‘For the sake of humanity and compassion, can we get these people off the streets?’ And woke is, ‘How dare you ask them to move! This is their home,’” he said. “No, it’s not!”

“There’s got to be … a better solution” than putting up the unhoused in hotels. “You know, get a barracks. They’re not that expensive,” he said during a chat with fellow TV personality Sharon Osbourne.

Mayor Eric Adams of New York City recently warned that the migrant crisis would affect neighborhoods, as the city grapples with accommodating approximately 91,000 new arrivals from the border.

Earlier this year, Adams accused Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of targeting black-run cities with migrant buses.

“This weekend, we learned that Governor Abbott is once again deciding to play politics with people’s lives by resuming the busing of asylum seekers to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, and Washington, D.C.,” the former NYPD captain wrote in a press release in May.

“Not only is this behavior morally bankrupt and devoid of any concern for the well-being of asylum seekers, but it is also impossible to ignore the fact that Abbott is now targeting five cities run by black mayors.”

“Democrats were always supposed to be sort of the ‘Well, we know how to make government work.’ And a lot of them did. Obama did. Hillary Clinton would have. They’re wonky people,” he said.

In Sunday’s episode, Maher added that he would support President Biden in 2024 if there were a rematch between him and former President Donald Trump, but admitted he was disappointed with the former’s lack of “competency.”

“So when Biden got in, I was like, ‘Really? I thought you were that kind of guy.’ But you didn’t know how to pull out of Afghanistan. You can’t seem to, like, get a thing going on the border that’s compassionate but not stupid,” Maher said.

“Again, the competency worries me more than ideology. Like it makes me think no matter what politics you people are, you’re the same person who can’t get anything done,” he said.
